Police say Sharifpour's mother told officers that she and her daughter were at the motel Oct. 3 and were talking when her daughter went outside. Margaret Sharifpour reported that her daughter then came back inside the room, stood between the two beds, said something and then shot her twice in the back of her head and once in her right eye.
